Lloret de Mar Events

There are a couple of events taking place this week end in Lloret de Mar and Fenals. The annual  Fenals fiesta starts today Friday 26th Aug and with concerts, dancing, games for the kids and fireworks display etc taking place all over the weekend.

In Lloret at the Evenia Olympic Palace on Saturday there is a concert which pays tribute to Abba with a cast of 18 taking part. This is promising to be a very colourful and lively event as there will be a change of clothes for each song. Admission charge is €25, there will be two performances, the first at 8pm and the second at 10.30pm

Lloret de Mar Hotels

Hoteliers in Lloret de Mar have recently agreed to better manage the bookings of their hotels, this will mean that some tour operators who deal solely with the groups of students etc they bring to Lloret will no longer 'find room at the inn' ! The town council wants to bring to an end the bad publicity that Lloret has had since the troubles over the 11th August period.

Statistics for the month of July for Lloret are down a little compared to the the same month last year, with a little over 160,000 visitors staying on average 4-5 days. The most likely reasons for this being  Ryanair reducing their routes at Girona airport and also the 'poor' weather during much of July.

Lloret Clon Festival - Gansos Rosas

The Clon Festival is over for another year, and last nights band the Gansos Rosas (Guns n' Rose's tribute band) gave a great performance just as all the others who have played this year! 

They danced,  ran, sang  and bounced about all over the stage for a solid 2hrs. We heard a fantastic selection of the best Guns n' Rose's tracks, such as Live & Let Die, Sweet Child o' Mine, Knockin' on Heavens Door and the finale was Paradise City!

I have uploaded videos to YouTube and  there are more than 100 photos from the Clon Festival Web page........CLICK HERE .......to see them all.

(You can still see photos and videos from all this years 'Clon Festival' bands on the same page)

Lloret de Mar Watersports

Slyder

During these very hot August days the Fenals Watersports centre seem to be very busy with people taking trips riding across the waves on the Ski Bus, FlyFish and Slyder. With the para sailing you can soar 50 mts high and take in the fantastic views of the coast. On all trips life jackets are provided and safety is always paramount. 

Special rates are available for groups and multitrips.

Parasailing

Lloret de Mar News

Approximately 1,500 people joined in the march by Lloret's residents yesterday evening to demonstrate against the recent trouble in town. This was their way of saying just how sick and tired they are of the type of visitors the town seems to be attracting during August. The protestors are asking that the current regulations  be reviewed and better enforced to bring an end to the mindless and drunken behaviour by a minority of the younger August tourist's who seem intent on causing as much noise, damage and unrest as possible during their stay!
